Nerve pain is no joke, it’s this terrible radiating pain kind of like ringing a gong. I had ACDF on my C5-6 in June 2022 and I’m so happy that I did. I was in so much pain before the surgery but now I feel awesome.
Feel better Danish. Pray to the Almighty to grant you a speedy recovery.
I had a C4-5-6 ACDF surgery the third week in October. I'm coming up on my 3-month check-up the last week in January, 2023, and I'm hoping my surgeon gives me the green light to resume all physical activities. Like Danish, I'm still experiencing muscle tightness all over my body because I was restricted from doing anything physical for basically 9 weeks - the worst of which was not raising my arms above my shoulder/head, or turning my head excessively. I was extremely active prior to the surgery, and to go cold turkey on exercise, my body just tightened up. Once I get clearance from my surgeon, I'll start a stretching/strengthening program with a PT and massage therapist. Also, I fully agree with what Danish said - despite all of what I've been through with the surgery, I'm so glad I had it done. I had a fabulous surgeon, and he and his PA told me exactly what to expect, and they were both spot on. Rule #1 - be patient. It'll take time to recover, but it will be well worth it. Good luck!
Thank you and wish you a healthy new year and let's hope we get back to normal activities sooner
I see it's been a year, how are you recovering? Does it still hurt and how is your neck mobility?
@@datsuntoyy I had the ACDF surgery in October, 2022, so it's been almost 18 months - and there is no actual pain. I'm back playing tennis, Pickleball, and all other physical activities I did prior to the surgery. However, despite the surgery being a success, I'm still experiencing a stiffer neck than before the procedure. But, in full disclosure, I wasn't as diligent in doing my stretching exercises as I should have been, initially. But, I've re-committed myself to doing the 5 simple neck stretches almost every single day, plus I'm receiving massage treatment from a qualified therapist, and my neck is much looser now than before. The therapist works on my trapz and my pec minor muscles, and these areas being tight will definitely cause a stiff neck. Slowly but surely I'm getting back to a better range of motion, but my surgeon told me ahead of time that I'd never have the total range of motion I had before the surgery.
@@scotthunt2479 Thankyou. Glad you're doing well. I'm not quite at the fusion stage but I fear it's close.
Success stories like yours make it easier for me to commit to it.
@@datsuntoyy Your body will tell you when it's time to get the surgery. Mine did. Never regretted a minute of it.
I’m getting ready for my Sur & you’ve helped me to be ready…
Wishing you all the best 👍
I thank God you are getting better, wishing you a speedy recovery great teacher
This gives me some encouragement I need to have c4 through c7 done from a fractured neck back in 94, I healed up fine from that injury and was back to normal after about a year but as I got older osteoarthritis took over and has nearly completely stopped me from living a quality life, I have bad anxiety a depression and I know it's cause of my injury, I use to race moto cross and race stock cars and was very active and I realize I'm to old for that stuff now, at 53 years old, I can't even swing a golf club without severe nerve pain, and I am scared to death to have surgery but there will come a time I won't have a choice
53 is YOUNG !
Hey Tim - I'm 50 and have to sign the consent in a month for the same thing C4-7. my surgeon uses titanium disks. Did you get the surgery? Any feedback?
@@TomDeloge1 November 10th is my surgery
@@TomDeloge1 Had acdf surgery last Friday c4 c5 c6 was from the front and fecet implants in from the back side its going on 10 days and its been extremely rough, that fecet surgery is a killer I have extreme surgery pain between my shoulder blades, and am on strong pain killers and muscle relaxers and barely cuts the pain, I hope it gets better, and I'm having to wear this neck brace for 6 weeks, its driving me nuts
I'm wish you a speedy recovery. I'm glad you feel somewhat better.
Danish, thanks for making the video, my heart goes out to you. Had the same procedure 11 days ago. Its just a long recovery process.
You look thinner in a very good way. Wishing you continued recovery and a happy and healthy future.
Thank you for update. Wish you all the best. 🙏
Take care Danish. Hope u have a speedy recovery
Prayers to you, keep up the great work!
I'm glad you are well, you are such a nice guy
I wasn't aware of your issues, but you look and sound great! Keep it up!
Thanks for this. I'll have almost the exact same surgery in a month. Nice to see you up and around and enjoying life.
Glad to see you are well Danish ! Take it easy 👍
Thank you for the update. I'm so happy to hear that you are doing well. I also have weakness in my arms. The positive for me after 30 days is I have more movement in my neck than I have had for two years and the constant pain has been relieved already. unfortunately the numbness in my dominant hand has not changed as the surgeon hoped it would. The change in the stiffness and pain in my neck has made it all worthwhile though.
Hi Joy. I had same issues and am 2 months post op. I still have a very numb finger. Doctor said it may or may not come back. The discomfort through my arm and shoulders was resolved right away. Blessings. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for the update
I have my hopes up
Assalaamulaikum
May Allah SWT give you quick shifa. Ameen
I just had surgery on Monday. Thank you so much for sharing your story!
hope you are very well now.. how are you now, how was the surgery and can you give me little details here about your surgery please..
Thanks for this video it just encourage me alot, i was very worried cause i had a booking for C5 to T1 surgery ahead and my mind was not at peace...it just take alot of my shoulder..
Allah aap ko sifa de.. aur sari taklif dur kare .
May ALLAH give you a full recovery and get well soon Insha-ALLAH
I’m about to have this and I’m so nervous. Ty for your imput
Gracias, saludos desde Puerto Rico😊❤
Always an inspiration Danish!
I had an ACDF 11/23/2022 C4 through C7. I walk 3 miles a day. I started therapy 1 month post. It really helped
Any update please? I’m having this soon
Get well soon Danish...
Ty for posting this update...I just had my ACDF surgery this morning and I'm in A LOT of pain 😢😢😮😮
I am 2 months post-op for C5-7. It was no joke. I ended up in the hospital for 3 days post-op. I also will say I didn't have immediate relief of symptoms. So don't get discouraged if that's you. The one thing no one warned me was that there can be an emotional backlash the week after surgery. It's alot to cope with. I just started back at work this week. I'm glad I gave myself more time before going back. I needed it. I'm only working half days and it's hard. But I'm determined to get back to doing what I love to... ballroom dancing!
Nice Vid! How long did it take you to move your head left/right post op surgery?
I have one month to go in my neck brace, I have to wear mine a bit longer due to some complications from C4-7 ACDF and I've got my low back to address next. I heard you state you get people into IT field? I was taking Google cyber security certification in hopes of getting off Social security Disability and doing quite well until my headrest on my Jeep Patriot exploded on me just shutting the door, I didn't even know there were defective exploding headrests, reportedly around 120# of force deploying 3 times faster than an airbag, a little PSA for those with neck issues.
I suffered a tbi too in addition to needing the neck fusion and aggravated and made my low back worse I already had a cage in. I thought I was hit in the head from someone hiding behind me and twisted proceeded to try and fight back, but nobody was there.
Anyrate I've came a long way with my Tbi, memory and speech therapy, I'm not expecting to be able to hold down my 98,8 gpa I had before the headrest exploded but I can retest and take as much time as I need if I re enroll.. I really wan't to get off Social Security Disablility My question is if I progress enough, is it realistic if I get all my Google certifications I'll be able to find a gainful job I can work from home in cyber security?
At this point I don't think it's going to be realistic I'll be able to drive to a day job between the low back and ACDF that wasn't able to address all the damage, my surgeon says I have a long way to go. I will say it is great to not be all lit up in the arms and hands with nerve pain, like you said.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Happy surgery worked for you i had same levels November 2019 then covid hit UK hard beginning 2020 so i never had follow up untill 2022 I never had physical therapy because of covid it was never mentioned to me I'm not even sure if you are ment to have brace what i was never given no physical therapy can someon tell me if these things were ment to happen as I'm now waiting on correction surgery just wondering if these are reasons for failed surgery I'm not wanting to scare anyone i was just unfortunate to have surgery just before covid shut hospitals and places down hear in the UK i would never blame hospital for no follow up as no one ever thought something like covid would take us to our knees .. sorry was long post just looking for some answers xx
I just had 6 and 7 done With some kind of cage 3 days ago Swallowing sucks
I've done my c6/c7 in November. Have been okay since then and I was not taking pain meds anymore but now I am in a terrible pain right where the procedure was done. 💔Back on meds, I pray it's not a failure procedure. I will go see the doctor as the doctor reopen 2nd week of January
Hope you feel better and praying it's not a failure. did you completed all therapy? and please keep us updated 🙏
We have the same surgery now it's my 10 days and slowly recovering and still have the pain in my left shoulder
It's going to take time. Walk, drink enough, eat fruits and maybe tynol. wish you quick recovery and I am still fixing things will update after one month
Were you ever recommended an Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy or OptiMesh®Expandable Fusion System instead of the ACDF fusion?
Just curious as these two procedures a much less invasive and recovery time.
Thanks for the video I think it will help a little bit. January twenty fifth two thousand twenty four is my surgery. Hopefully it goes as good as it did with you. Because for me it's the same three Disk
It has been a year, do you still have any pain, numbness, or weakness? are you able to move your neck normally? Do you regret getting the surgery? Base on how much pain you had before the surgery let say was 100%, how much pain do you have now ?
1 month post op tomorrow. I still have the neck tightness and some nerve pain going thru both shoulders.
Sleeping flat still a problem.
I wish you health and recovery
how you doing now?
@Zzocul man, I wish I was better. My neck and left shoulder are great. My right shoulder hurts the same as day of surgery.
Sleeping is great besides rolling onto that right shoulder.
Im 5 months out, my PA ( works for surgeon) said 6 months pretty common to have similar nerve issues, some folks take over a year to feel ( out of pain)
I find myself wishing I knew some people who had this surgery so I could ask questions bout their experience. I'm hoping for best still.
Im 1000% better than pre surgery but not healed. Sleeping has been amazing, presurgery I was getting maybe hour day. So 8 hours is truely amazing
@leereid4299 I have to undergo to a similar surgery soon. I'm in the state where I get no sleep and Im in constant invalidating pain that bedriddens me 24/7. If you don't mind I might comment again from time to time as I'm happy to hear you have had improvements and there is still room for even more healing. thanks for your testimony
Nerve pain is tricky. I was off the pain meds quickly.
Ive been unable to stop the muscle relaxers or gaba pentin. Moving, touching, rolling onto all hurt still.
I have if I'm honest done too much, lifted something too heavy or a repetitive task that ends up hurting 1000% worse for few days.
So recognizing my limitations has been challenging.
I wish everyone luck that needs this surgery. It's scary!
Did they give you any muscle relaxers to relax the neck ?
I am happy to hear ur story but now i'm scared i'm scared my surgery was 5 days ago I don't wanna go though this for another 2 and 3/4 the months 😭
I am having it this month. I’m so scared but I’m always scared.
Update video.. do you still feel numbness in the fingers.
I had my c7-t1 fused. Has very minimal pain for the first 7 weeks after. Now from week 7 until week 11 I have had bad upper back pain and minimal arm pain. Anyone else has a c7-t1 surgery that can give me any info on this being normal. I’m having upper back muscle spasms and tightness
get Well soon Daanish
Had acdf surgery on my c5 c6 everything was going good for 8 months then had a pop in my neck again hospital cant see anything wrong but ive lost about 45% mobility and loosing bowl control ..... Idk what to do anymore
Alhamdulillah
Hi! I will have the same operation c5-c7 ACDF. Can You make video of Your range of motion after this 5 months?
How long did you wear your neck brace for? I just got my c4 to c7 done. I walk along but this neck brace is killing me.
Just few days but ask your doctor.
Sir I have phobias I'm too much afraid of surgery 😢
How are you doing now sir?
I had the same discs replaced with simplify disc, artificial discs and I'm still worse than before surgery, it's been 2 months and every since surgery I've had way worse and new left shoulder and finger numbness. Did it take you this long to heal? How are you now? Artificial disc replacement takes ½ to ¼ the recovery time they say so I think the surgeon screwed up...
It depends person to person mine also took longer and I still have pain it's a lot better from the first two months. The numbness also stayed for some time so I would say keep doing the light streches and wait for atleast 6 months. It takes time for some people. hope things get better for you as well.
Thanks man, turns out my surgeon didn't remove the BONE SPURS I specifically asked him numerous times about and I went out of my way to get CT scan and x-ray, which reveal them much more than MRI. Turns out, 80 to 85%" of acdf and social disc patients just need the much less invasive and costly "arthroscopic" bone spur removal but insurance doesn't pay for all of it (half usually, the surgical center if in network). Few surgeons do it but MANY claim falsely "minimally invasive" surgery.. Furthermore, you should note that 1) acdf pays twice what artificial disc pays despite taking the same time, effort and equipment 2) acdf has 80% chance of "adjacent disc disease" 8 to 10 years after acdf 3) which is why tADR is regarded as the new "gold standard" among the many Seattle science foundation lecturers for the 10 to 15 % that need more than arthroscopic bone spur removal (none will likely admit it not endoscopic specialists in CA, AZ, NM CO, TX, NY FL and Europe I've found, will do free consult remotely
Took me a long long time to figure all that out, I hope you spread the word.
I just had this done the day before yesterday.
Is it okay to have fusion or artificial disk replacement at C5-C7? Of course, the doctor decision to do that but I'm looking for ppl who went through process and experience. What about after surgery? Need to be careful in my entire life ? Still not married ( age 34)!
Can anyone went through the process? So that I can message you personally to get more details. Thank you for your kindness in advance.
I did fusion just because I trust my own bones more then artificial. After surgery you will not do anything but just light walk and small things but make sure to consult with doctor before you do anything extensive. Some people will have great result and for some it takes time. Mine is taking time but not stopping me from daily thing's. I will share video soon
@@Jobskillshare thanks much for sharing, but what about life after recovery time ? One's self cant take care during recovery time as a person is staying alone and doing the Job
I had/have paraylsis and am 4 weeks post op of acdf c5-6, I'm probably gonna loose my typing job, do the disability laws come into play? tia
I believe it does but contact a lawyer that deals with this sort of situations
Hey how are i am also in it and i had also acdf c5 c6 . There was only pain of root nerves or myelopathy (herniated disc which presses the dpinal cord)?
I had both pinching nerve and bone closing in on spinal cord. After surgery I never had nerve pain which was worse but for some reason I had lots muscle pain I did therapy which helped but eventually went with epidural injection. I will update on results in a week
@@Jobskillshare so you got symptoms as spasm or tingling in you lower body (because i had this ) but maybe we want to make a new surgery on the level below the acdf (which was already herniated but the acdf make the level above worse (due to the fusion which make hyper pressure on the others disks...))which is again against the spinal cord... But for now majority of surgeons won't do it
What's your ACDF now sir.
Is that's better after 1 year.
I have an accident in that I got surgery in C3/C4 its been 8 months.
Is their any social or other network way to talk to you.
I want to know to that ,the problems I we're facing now is same as others.
Please reply.
Hi, how’s your recovery going. I have to go in for c3-c5. Any advice
I am doing pretty well still have some issues so I am going to get more scans done. I am usually available Linkdein can send voice www.linkedin.com/in/danishhaider-/
"Three month's"??? Why do people think that apostrophes have anything to do with pluralization?
Wow. You must be really smart
